Valerie 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child
$22 per hour for 1 child
My background is in nursing. This included care of the elderly within a hospital and nursing home environment. I was also a volunteer dining room server at a local senior center. As an animal caregiver it has been my passion since the passing of one of my pets. Shelter volunteering was a way to give back to the community and gain valued experiences with animals. Working as a volunteer at a shelter clinic inspired my enthusiasm for learning different aspects of pre and post op care. My duties were to record vital signs, administer subcutaneous fluids, and medications, in addition to monitoring animals until conscious. Presently, I foster kittens and cats for a local shelter, preparing them for adoption. Many are medically / socially challenged.
“Hello, I have known Valerie for many years. We have become friends over time. During the time I have known Valerie, she has been involved in caring for foster animals, volunteering for the Humane Society and also working as a pet sitter for various clients. She is extremely reliable, conscientious, and caring. I believe she would be wonderful for both people and animals and I highly recommend her services.”

Hi, my name is Charlotte! I am currently working my master’s in school counseling and am loving it. I have worked with a kids of a variety of ages and in a variety of settings—including babysitting kids ages six months through preteen, counseling and mentoring preschool through high school students at summer camp, working with elementary and middle school students in local schools through Generation Alive, volunteering in kids’ ministry at church, and volunteering in afterschool programs with elementary and middle schoolers. In these roles, I have been known to be caring, encouraging, and develop strong relationships with kids of all ages. I am also happy to help with errands and household projects — cleaning, organizing, and whatever is helpful for you. I am looking forward to meeting you and your kids!😊

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
